The S&P 500 was down a yawn-inspiring 2 points on Wednesday. Heck, the Dow was actually up 32 points. So it was a good day for investors, right?
No!
Sure it was a fine day for index investors...or my 78 year old father happy to take the 4% dividend from safe picks like Pfizer. However, for growth oriented investors it was a rough session. This is better seen in the -0.5% decline of the Russell 2000. And the clarity doubles when you see the -0.91% drop of the S&P High Beta ETF (SPHB).
This is likely just a Risk Off consolidation period before the market takes a robust, Risk On
and high beta leap towards 2400. That event is likely not far away.
If you are comfortable navigating the choppy waters of this market by yourself, then keep at it. If you could use a little help, then please consider looking at the trades in my Reitmeister Trading Alert portfolio.
Right now I have 15 positions (13 stocks and 2 ETFs)...each one in positive territory at this time. In fact, these are the same positions I put my family's money into. Think about it...why take advice from someone not willing to put their money where their mouth is?
